ALUMINIUM TRAINING BARONG

Introducing the BLAKLIST training barong, designed for practitioners of Kali Eskrima, Kali Arnis Eskrima, Silat and all combat disciplines derived from Filipino martial arts. This high-quality training weapon is suitable for both beginners and experienced practitioners looking to advance their martial arts training.

The barong is a traditional weapon originating from the Philippines, used for centuries in combat and warrior rituals. An integral part of the Kali, Eskrima and Arnis repertoire, it is one of the most iconic blades of the Philippine archipelago. Its unique shape — a broad, slightly curved, single-edged blade — makes it formidably effective in both close-quarters combat and long-range flow work.

A barong designed for training

From the moment you first hold it, you notice its perfect balance. The shape of this training weapon immediately demonstrates its qualities. The barong is one of those ‘machetes’ where you can feel its effectiveness—immediate and uncompromising. It embodies the very spirit of Kali: a Filipino discipline that is both brutal and precise, where every movement counts.

This barong will allow you to work on your flow, footwork, timing and coordination, whether training solo or practising techniques with a partner. Whether you practise Kali, Arnis Eskrima, Eskrima de Combate or even Escrima in its most traditional form, this training blade adapts perfectly to your needs.

Versatility and educational value for Kali Eskrima

The barong is an essential weapon for any serious practitioner of Filipino martial arts. It will naturally enrich your study of the various weapons specific to Kali Eskrima, alongside the espada y daga, the espada, the daga, the bolo, or even the baton. By incorporating the barong into your arnis practice, you will develop a more comprehensive and nuanced understanding of the martial arts of the Philippines. With the espada y daga and the karambit, your training will be complete!

This aluminium training weapon is also ideal for enthusiasts of knife fighting, indoor Kali Arnis, or combat sports based on Filipino techniques. It is also suitable for practitioners of silat or Free Fighting, two disciplines where distance management and reading combat angles are essential.

The Filipino martial arts weapon adapted for modern training

In France, the popularity of Kali and Arnis continues to grow within martial arts clubs and associations. To meet this demand, BLAKLIST offers this barong, designed to provide a feel close to the real weapon whilst ensuring safe use during training. Its aluminium blade faithfully reproduces the geometry of the original barong, for technical training that closely mirrors the reality of combat.

You can also discover our polypropylene barong, a lighter alternative for certain types of training or sparring. You may also wish to explore this model if you practise Kali, Eskrima or Arnis Eskrima and would like to diversify your training equipment.
